Summary "Charles Sumner: His Complete Works, Volume 09" by Charles Sumner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on a selection of speeches and writings by Sumner, a prominent abolitionist and U.S. Senator, addressing themes of civil rights, the powers of Congress during the Civil War, and the complexities of legality surrounding slavery and rebellion. The content showcases Sumner's efforts to intertwine legal, moral, and political arguments in his quest for justice and equality. The opening of this volume introduces a pivotal speech delivered by Sumner on May 19, 1862, which advocates for the confiscation of property owned by rebels and the emancipation of slaves held by those in rebellion against the United States. Sumner employs historical and legal references to assert that the ongoing Civil War is both rebellion and war, thus justifying Congress’s powers to act against traitors, both as criminals and enemies. He emphasizes the importance of remaining aligned with constitutional principles while arguing for decisive action to secure the nation’s unity and freedom for enslaved individuals. His compelling rhetoric and the historical context set the stage for a broader discussion on civil rights and governmental authority during a time of national crisis.
